About Alicia
LMSW in Michigan with 4 years of experience, Alicia Swisher helps people who are facing relationship strain, grief, anger, depression, anxiety, and major life changes. She also supports people dealing with parenting concerns, family stress, trauma and abuse, bipolar disorder, and health-related issues such as cancer, chronic pain, or illness. Alicia uses direct, practical conversation to address immediate problems and everyday functioning.
Alicia focuses on clear goals and manageable steps rather than abstract theory. She listens for what feels most urgent and works with each person to set short-term goals. Sessions are organized around problem solving, emotion regulation, and coping skills that apply to daily life.
Her approach is described as respectful and sensitive. Alicia adapts the way she talks and plans work to fit each person’s situation. She prioritizes straightforward communication and concrete strategies that can be practiced between sessions.
In earlier roles she gained experience with first responder issues, hospice and end-of-life counseling, and veteran and armed forces matters. That background informs how she frames conversations about loss, trauma, and medical stressors. The focus stays on what helps someone manage today and plan for the next steps.
People choosing sessions can expect a practical tone, goal-focused check-ins, and homework designed to build coping skills. Alicia emphasizes collaboration on goals and frequent reviews of progress to keep work relevant and useful.

How evidence-based techniques are used in online sessions
Evidence-based techniques refer to approaches that use practical skills and structured work to reduce distress and improve functioning. One common technique focuses on emotion regulation and coping skills. This teaches concrete ways to manage strong feelings, which helps with anger, anxiety, and mood swings.Another technique centers on grief and loss work. It includes processing what changed, identifying meaningful routines, and finding manageable steps to adjust day-to-day life after a loss. This kind of work often involves short practices to try between sessions.
Finding the right combination of techniques is part of the early work. The therapist will review needs, goals, and preferences and then recommend approaches to try. This is collaborative - adjustments are made based on what is helpful and what fits a person’s life.

Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time so therapy fits around work, medical appointments, or family obligations.
